Is that me, or AI always sets the worst situation for you on diplomacy?

No, I dont mean the eventual hostilities, or Daimyo honor. I know everyone will attack you at the end. But I am suspicious of that the oldest and strongest allies backstabs you, no matter whatever you do to please them.

Once, I started a campaign with Tosa. As you know, you start on an island isolated from mainland, with 3 other neighbours. I smashed the first enemy on top in few turns, and had very good relationships and an alliance with the one on the right. Then suddenly, the one at the top right declared war to me. I thought "It is ok, the game tests you... It supports Shogunate, and its fun to have an enemy anyway." And then, next turn few more clans from long distance, had joined the war against me. (By the way not even the most friendly clan accepts your alliance invite if you have no borders. But everyone feels free to declare war no matter how far they are. So frustrating) I destroyed the second clan on the island, and since I was very friendly with the third, I was thinking to step to the main island.

Then wham! My neighbour changed his side for the Shogunate, and changed from fery friendly to hostile in 1 turn. Next turn, he declared war on me.

This kind of stories happens on my "every" campaign. Somehow, in few turns everyone left me alone.

I know the diplomatical balance is very fragile in S2TW, am I missing something? Maybe che character of the clan? Or Daimyo honor? Can you say "No, you are dreaming, you are just an old wolf who plays S2TW like STW, and complaining about diplomacy"?

Im really getting tired of this.

Last night I was playing Aizu, I gained 3 provinces, and I had the best diplomatical situation ever: Jozai, Edo and Sendai were all my allies, and they all were very friendly. I was sweeping the Empire followers together with Jozai.

Then, wham! Jozai suddenly turned to the Empreror,and next turn he declared war on me!

I dont know how you guys play this, but Im about to give up trying to finish the game at least for once.

What difficulty level are you playing?

**Sp4** · 05-15-2012, 03:14

If the AI can't beat you in a battle, which I am sure it can't after anyone has played any other TW game basically, it attempts to annoy you to the point where you just can't be arsed anymore =p

Ah, you are right, I am already ok with other factions having unlimited money, building everything and train the best soldiers.

But change political status only to hit me from back? That's something else.

Ok thats it, I quit trying single player.

I was Jozai, I conquered like 5 or 6 provinces, Edo and Aizu were my allies.. I helped alot Edo to conquer other provinces, it had like 5 or 6 other provinces... Then Edo turned to Imperial side!

This game is like a joke. Unless someone tells me I do something stupid on diplomacy, or publish a patch to disallow to change sides, I will not play it anymore.
